Best Mid Range Digital Camera

I've been a serious professional photographer since the mid-80's, mostly shooting film on 4x5 systems until switching to digital about 10 years ago when film processing and Polaroid proofing became difficult to accommodate. Happily enough I went to the big Nikon digital cameras with prime lenses and still use them on serious assignments for my architecture and interior design clients. But I also love to walk about on time off in foreign cities or local mountain hikes and frankly, a full frame FX camera with a good mid-range zoom is not all-day friendly. At the same time I did not want to give up a serious approach to my imaging on walkabouts - - enter this beauty from Fuji. The IQ is outstanding, and equipped with a good mid-range zoom I'm clocking in with about 2 lbs total! I'm delighted. The camera's menu can be daunting, however, a claim substantiated with an included 300 page manual. Then again, it is a multi-purpose tool designed to accommodate a number of varied tasks admirably (and that it does). So my recommendation there is to master the settings you actually use and let the rest live in a world of maybe later. One can always got to Google or YouTube and find perfectly good shortcuts as necessary. In sum - - I Love This Camera! The attached image is of a Coyote that wandered through my backyard a few days ago. It was photographed on the Fuji X-T3 with their 18-135 mm zoom at 135mm (35mm equivalent 200mm), through a closed kitchen window, and cropped 8-fold! Out of camera jpeg, no post! I rest my case.

Best of the mid range uv filters, the nano has the thin bezel vs the MRC f-pro which is thick.

Best camera in this price range go for it Blindly.

This is not a technical review: I have never had a f 2.8 mid range zoom lens and thought this one would be great for many situations. But when I took it out of the box I realized it was not going to be a walk around lens- at least if the walk was very long. So I had a moment of temporary disappointment until I put the lens on the camera and saw what f 2.8 can do. Sweet bokeh with sharp center and clear and contrasty elements made the photos nearly jump off the page. I was sold even before trying out the video. The video was effortless with excellent focus. It kept up with hummingbirds zooming in and out of the frame. I have tried the lens in back lighting situations, sunrise and sunsets and early morning and evening environmental birding photography and it does well if the user gives more exposure in back lit situations. I am using the lens with the Fuji XT5 camera.

It is easy to use. Very good for mid-range or below DSLR/ camera. I feel very safe to have my camera with this product

I purchased the Canon T5 as a mid-range camera to save my Nikon D4 from extreme environmental working hazards and conditions in the field. The T5 body seems small and lightweight for extra-large hands. I use a Vello battery grip to compensate, a major plus for extra support and handling. The ISO range, WB, and photo quality met and exceeded my expectations without 'fixing' them on a computer. The auto settings for various scenes are very good, indeed. I also enjoy full range manual control for each function. It works well with remote external flash units. I expected slow performance while using in -18 F weather but was surprised, especially the rapid image processing time at high ISO's and extended exposures. In summary, I am very pleased with this camera and its range of capabilities. For its class, I must rate the unit a five. However, in my opinion, nothing beats film cameras. Yet.

It has become a man-purse with my D600 and a mid-range zoom stuffed in. Its non-appearance as a camera bag was the real attraction. The modular padded box was well thought out.

This is an awesome mid range camera and the kit is a great value for someone who’s trying to get started and doesn’t have a huge budget. Would recommend!

Excellent camera to get if you are looking for a mid range slr type camera. Very good low light pictures. The lens it comes packaged with is very good. although a zoom lens is recommended and you will be set for everyday photography.

Great camera for mid-range enthusiasts and professionals alike. I actually purchased this to be a B-Cam, but have found that 9 times out of 10 I'm reaching into my bag for this camera.
